Lead breeding programs for high-value vegetatively propagated crops from germplasm development through commercial release.
Set breeding priorities and make advancement decisions that balance innovation, risk, and time-to-market.
Stay hands-on with breeding activities while mentoring one direct report and supporting technical development.
Translate grower, market, and production needs into clear, actionable breeding targets.
Drive steady progress in trial performance, selection quality, and release readiness.
Apply modern breeding tools and data-driven approaches to improve efficiency and decision-making.
Work closely with production, supply chain, pathology, and product teams to ensure varieties are scalable and reliable.
Travel (~25%) to review trials, engage with growers, and stay connected to global market trends.

Requirements:

Ph.D. with 5+ years, M.S. with 6+ years, or B.S. with 9+ years of applied experience in clonal ornamental breeding or related crops.
Proven track record of owning breeding programs and delivering commercially successful varieties.
Strong foundation in plant breeding, genetics, and applied use of modern breeding tools.
Comfortable making clear decisions and trade-offs in real-world, production-focused environments.
Collaborative communicator who connects technical work to practical outcomes.
Willingness to relocate to Guadalupe, CA, and travel domestically and internationally.
Strategic program ownership and prioritization
Clear, adaptable communication across functions
Commercial and market-focused thinking
Sound decision-making in dynamic environments
Collaborative, practical problem-solving

Salary Range: $110-145k

Physical Requirements

Ability to stand for long periods of time.
Ability to lift to 40 lbs.
Ability to work in hot and cold temperature environments
Ability to see and manipulate small objects (flower parts)
Must possess the ability to walk and maneuver through the greenhouse and in between benches and stand for long periods of time.
